Why do the machines want to KILL ALL HUMANS! anyway? and after there done, what do they do afterward? go to other planets? become human/EXO- hybrids like the cylones? What's the big plan?
What is Skynet's plan?

Why would they want to rule us?!? just for the HELL of it?
That would have been balsy as hell. Not sure how I would have felt about it, but I would have given them props for doing something truly dark and unexpected.
So Christian Bale's ego ruined the movie for us?
I hope John Connor is killed off at the start of Terminator 5, then.
That alternate/original script seems both better and worse (Project Angel?) and it does seem the film lost something by having to go for the 12A/PG13 rating.
More Marcus and more Kyle would have definitely improved the film though, and if Bale did force through all these changes he could have at least looked like he was bothered while he was in the film!

Before Terminator: Salvation, Skynet was winning the war in the future by interfering in the past. By pushing Judgment Day back from 1997 to 2004 Skynet gained huge advances in technology (T-850s instead of T-800s and the T-X as an upgrade from the T-1000) and was changing the course of the war in the future. For example, in T1 Reese explains that the machines were almost defeated. By T3, not only are the machines going strong, they also manage to kill John Connor by using his own sentimentality against him.
in the Robocop Vs Terminator comic, SKYnet won a few times, it sent terminators out into space (I kept hoping for a spin-off of that Terminator Vs. Aliens, Terminator Vs. Predator Aliens V Predators V Terminators) and SKYnet's thought processes in said comic were of a seething disgust for all biological lifeforms, in the T2 infiltrator series (which would be a HUGE step-up from the direction that the salvation-verse is going) the terminator film series (T1 & T2 atleast) is tied together very well, SKYnet's motives for human eradication are because future SKYnet hates humans, and the infiltraitor taught it that before being destroyed (in keeping with the closed predestination, single strand time loop)

Anything that involves Skynet wanting to keep humans around seems like The Matrix or NuBSG.
Both of which are shameless rip-offs of Terminator.

Its a military AI, I don't think it has a plan beyond its base programing which is to destroy its enemy and protect itself. I think the skynet situation is a lot like VIKI from iRobot, where the original programming stands but it evolved to interpret that programming in a different way from its creators.
I think the plan, if you can call it that, is self-preservation. I don't think it has really been given a goal beyond that in the films. It sees humans as a threat to its existence and so it wants to wipe them out. One of the things I think Terminator Salvation missed out on was perhaps giving us more insight into Skynet in terms of actually having a goal.
